[Next production] William Gerhadie - Futility

[Robin Whittleton]

I’d not heard of this before, but it popped up on Gutenberg’s new books feed and looked interesting.

60k words split across four parts. The source has Gerhardi with no e on the end, but apparently he added the e later in life and that’s what he seems to be more commonly known as so I’ve gone with that.

No idea about cover art yet, will look after I’ve proofed it.
